Laura Langman's charmed injury-free run has come to an end, with the star midcourter struck down twice by freak injuries in the early rounds of Australian's Super Netball competition.

After going through nine seasons of the transtasman league without missing a game, Langman has already sat out one game for the Sunshine Coast Lightning with a foot injury. She is now facing a further stint on the sideline after suffering a dislocated finger in the Lightning's narrow 51-50 win over Collingwood on Saturday night.

Langman was forced from the court early in the second quarter of the match with a badly dislocated finger on her left hand, in which the bone had pierced through the skin.

She went to hospital for scans at the halftime break and the extent of the damage and expected recovery time should be known later today, once she meets with a hand specialist.
